This USA Today bestselling author invites you to the delightful small town of Sweetwater Springs where the magic of Christmas brings to strangers together in this "story you won't forget" (RaeAnne Thayne, New York Times bestselling author).

Christmas is coming to the North Carolina mountains, and the air is fresh and crisp and filled with promise. After the devastating loss of her job in the big city, the small town of Sweetwater Springs feels like heaven to Kaitlyn Russo. She's inherited her grandparents' charming (if a little rundown) bed and breakfast, and it's just the new lease on life she needs. Only "heaven" comes with a catch-and a handsome and completely infuriating one at that.

After what he hopes will be a quick trip, Mitch Hargrove wants nothing more than to put his hometown in the rearview mirror. But his plans get derailed when he learns he's now half-owner of the Sweetwater B&B. The fact that he's given only two months to make the inn a success is a huge problem, but it's his pretty-and incredibly headstrong-partner who's the real challenge. With the holiday fast approaching and a grand re-opening looming, will Mitch keep running from the ghosts of Christmas past . . . or will he realize the true gift he's been given?

Includes the bonus short story "Midnight Clear" by Hope Ramsay!


“Listen to this. The Sweetwater Bed and Breakfast in Sweetwater Springs just might be the most romantic holiday retreat in America. How could an inn with an address on Mistletoe Lane be anything less? Each of the large, airy rooms, named after a few of America’s favorite romantic couples, features a breathtaking view of the North Carolina mountains. Stay in, snuggle, and read by the fire. Or take a walk under a blanket of twinkling stars. Make a wish on one and watch it come true as you live out your most romantic fantasies this Christmas season.”

The breath caught in Kaitlyn’s chest. “Is that what you wrote?”

“Something like that,” Josie said. “I pulled a late night on your behalf. I described the town, and then I pitched the bed and breakfast hard. I was praying the website was up to date.”

Kaitlyn cringed. As Mitch had already pointed out, the website was slightly behind the times. “The rooms aren’t named after romantic couples, but that’s a genius idea.”

“I thought so too, especially since you’re such a romantic movie buff.”

“You’re a closet buff,” Kaitlyn accused.

“I only watch them with you, and only for the popcorn and soda you provide.”

Kaitlyn laughed, suddenly sad that she and Josie wouldn’t be having any of those girl’s nights in, watching movies and stuffing themselves silly anytime soon.

“Now go make it happen. I, on the flipside, need to get started on articles for the January issue of Loving Life.”

“Or you could try sleep for a change,” Kaitlyn suggested.

“In broad daylight? You must be crazy.”

After they hung up, Kaitlyn went to retrieve her list from the coffee table. She grabbed a pen and added: update website. She’d loved what Josie had written about the B&B. It made her want to come and visit this place herself. And she couldn’t wait to name the rooms. The interior designer in her already had the wheels spinning. The first room could be named after Anne of Green Gables. Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe were the first fictional characters to ever make her heart skip a beat. The room could be done in a multitude of pasture greens with antique furniture from the early 1900s.

Yes. A smile molded her lips. This was exactly the kind of work that had thrilled her in interior design school. This was going to be amazing. She was going to transform this inn into everything the feature article Josie wrote had promised. In two very long, sleepless weeks.
